But with true namespaces, using directives, and namespace aliasing available in C++, I see benefits in readability to use full length names for namespaces (like GnuCash::Account instead of gncAccount or Gnc::Account. There's less likelyhood of collision with, say, a library written to support the General Nutrition Centers (GNC) chain of stores. While I personally prefer snake_case to camelCase, I think that the idiomatic C++ tends to use camelCase. _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
